Vulnerable Populations Contributing Measures

These measures reflect data as of Q4-23.

Seniors

Homemaker Services program: provides disabled/low-income seniors routine housekeeping services.

75% clients in home annually. 

The percent of clients remaining in their homes was 95.54% in Q4 2023. This is well above the target, giving this measure component a green status. This measure component will contribute 1.0 point to the overall Vulnerable Populations measure. 

During Q4 2023, the program supervisor of seven years left the County. We hired and recruited a new staff supervisor who started in November and had some overlap with the previous supervisor. 

Veterans

Veterans Services Office –Assists Arapahoe County veterans and their dependents in obtaining eligible VA benefits, state veteran benefits, and appropriate community resources. 

1,500 veterans/families receiving secondary contacts from the Veterans Service Office. 

In Q4 2023, 2,639 veterans / families received secondary contacts from the Veteran Services Office (VSO). This is well over the target of 1,500 resulting in a green status for this measure component. This measure component will contribute 1.0 point to the overall Vulnerable Populations measure.

Arapahoe County has been able to help veterans and their families recover great funds than ever before due to the PACT Act. The VSO brought on two more temporary grant funded VSO's to help with the resulting demand. 

Judicial Offenders

Pretrial Services Navigator program – assists individuals with behavioral health disorders currently involved with the Arapahoe County Courts navigate the justice and public benefits systems.

80% successful termination rate. 

In Q4 of 2023, the successful termination rate was 76%. While this is below target, it is within the acceptable range resulting in a green status for this measure component. This measure will contribute 1.0 point to the overall Vulnerable Populations measure.

Adult Protection Services

This measure gauges the ability of the Arapahoe County to make state-required monthly contact with clients who have open cases.

At least 95% of monthly contacts are made within the state-required timeframe of 35 days.

Please note this measure component is reported 1 quarter in arears. In Q3 2023, APS met Timely Contacts in all three months. ACDHS reviews this measure monthly and examines cases where there is a late contact.

This measure will contribute 1.0 point to the overall Vulnerable Populations measure.

Inmates

Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office - provides mental health services to current inmates within the Arapahoe County detention system.

As we conclude Q4 of 2023 we saw trending data that remained consistent throughout the year regarding mental health patient contacts. On average, our Mental Health team contacted 4,199 patients per month throughout the year. We continue to enjoy having a full team of Licensed Mental Health Professionals which certainly correlates to a better and more efficient delivery of services.

This can likely be associated to increased availability by the Licensed Mental Health Professionals, but also due to increased acuity displayed by the inmate-patient population. The delivery of quality Mental Health services is a priority to the Arapahoe County Detention Facility, and we will continue to evaluate best practices that will enhance the delivery of services to this high-risk patient population. While the use of tele-psychiatry is still an option, we are excited to have a new psychiatrist join our on-site team and having two psychiatric providers has proven extremely beneficial for the patients within our care.
